Marie sounds like my mother. She was a toxic narcissistic person. She pushed my farher away and then was upset when he had an affair. Although my father still really loved my mother. i don't think my mother really loved my father. She fought with him day and night like a mad woman. She was very abusive to him. She refused to divorce and my father's family told my father that for the sake of the children he needs to stay with my mother. My demanded my father's full salary every month. She made him catch a bus while she drove a Mercedes. It was hell for us kids but my mother made herself a victim and beat us when we didn't do well in school. She feit she gave us home to live in. Be careful of very toxic narcissistic people when dating. Do not marry them.

[@yasminharuna2260]

You went through all that at your own mums hand? What a shame...

[@augustusokaga9365]

This is why you should never be friends with exes

[@Gigirousseau321]

After divorcing someone there’s no way I’m going to that house, especially when she’s confronting other women after they divorce. She didn’t know what she wants.

[@ResearchPapers1]

Thats my question too

[@Dan-xx5jq]

she didn't want to see him happy. He must have still genuinely loved her to do it in the closet after their divorce. But she had no love for him. She was a narcissistic person. They are unable to love other people but themselves. That is why she could kill and take a life. Narcissistic people are very dangerous. It is very, very important you know the signs to look for a narcissistic person when dating. You want to avoid these people like a plague. They will destroy your life. I believe every young person must learn the classic features to look for in a narcissistic person. This is a very serious mental disorder. People use the word narcissistic very loosely. It is a very serious clinical disorder. These people are able to function like regular people so you will never know unless you know what to look for. Google Narcissistic people and the signs to look for, and you will choose the right partner for yourself. My poor father was not very educated to know study about Narcissistic people. The information was not there for him. But you all have that information at your fingertips via Google. And if you fit the profile get professional health so that you can try to change your personality although difficult to do as more are born that way and some are raised with a parent that is one.

Dear ladies, if you are in a relationship that is not working and both of you cannot resolve your issues, please leave for the sake of your children. The pressures of life including relationship issues can cause you to fyatuka in Stato. If a dude is not adding value to your life gather yourself up and move on. It's possible to raise your children in peace if that is what you seek although it's not the ideal situation. Truth be told, good men these days are almost non existent. When you reconcile with that fact, you will stop allowing men to mistreat you and push you to the limits. There is so much more to live for aside from marriage. Wait for God to bless you with a spouse if it's his will but don't go looking for yourself because you will only pile hurt and you will become a walking time bomb. I come in peace ✌🏾. Shalom R.I.P Jonathan 😢

Based on phone conversations, her answering his phone and saying he is not available to talk, she held the gun from the moment he arrived. Forced him to have sex. That's were he tried to fight and got shot. She planned it. Premeditated. She should have gotten a life sentence. RIP Jonathan🙏🏽. Poor Jeremy! I hope a Kenyan family took him. That said, Honest will ALWAYS set you free. Something is off mentally with this woman who didn't care about her son. Many women would leave toxic relationships for the sake of kids.

May God forgive her and deliver her from the spirit of anger. May God protect her son and guide him.

Its good you're seeing it from that angle. She is actually the main victim. And a lioness must bite back when pushed to a corner.

They were already divorced. So why did she begrudge him for moving on with another woman. If Kimani had grieved her and her son, the son would have told the court about it. But he gave witness of his mother's irrational behaviour towards them both. It seems she wasn't convinced that Kimani loved her, maybe because she was left by the father of her son. Even if Kimani had a child in Dubai, she called him over and he came and got married with her, and he bonded well with her son. That was something they could have talked over without much ado. It also means that there was no significant bond between her and her son. If there was then she would have made up her mind to divorce Kimani and continue living with her son like before. Get on with her life. Lack of reflection made her carry out the stupid action. Now the son will suffer alone, while she wastes away behind bars.

[@dudleymakeche7842]

Matters of the heart are very complicated. Human beings have varied temperamental conditions. Some easily let go but some it is difficult. Just the feeling of seeing someone who once was your partner moving on to a happier chapter, can enrage a former partner badly. Lessons from this are that the love of some can be too deep and controlling sometimes. It is a question of if I can't have him, NO ONE can have him. Too bad for the guy. He seemed a humble soul who had a wrong partner. This also shows that some women can be excessively violent and revengeful as some men are.
